Nottinghamshire’s Jake Ball is set to bid adieu to the club at the culmination of the 2023 season after serving for 15 years. Ball, hailing from Nottinghamshire, has been a stalwart for the team, making his senior debut in the 2009 Natwest Pro40.
“If you’d told me in my first few years here that I’d have played so much for the club, won trophies, and played for England in all formats, I’d never have believed it,” Ball was quoted by Cricket World.
“It’s been a rollercoaster of a journey, but I’ve never lost sight of how special it’s been to call this place home. Trent Bridge will always have a very special place in my heart, and while I’m looking forward to whatever challenges come next, I’ll always be a Notts supporter,” he added.
Mick Newell, Nottinghamshire’s Director of Cricket, praised Ball’s unwavering commitment. “Over the last 15 years, Jake has shown great dedication to realize the potential he first showed as a teenager with us. He’s a very popular member of the group who has led by example on and off the pitch; we wish him all the best with the next chapter of his career.”
